[PATCH 3/5] powerpc-MSI-HSTA: Use kmalloc_array() in hsta_msi_probe()

From: SF Markus Elfring <hidden>
Date: 2016-08-29 11:11:05
Also in: kernel-janitors, linuxppc-dev
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Linus Torvalds

From: Markus Elfring <redacted>
Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2016 11:20:39 +0200

* A multiplication for the size determination of a memory allocation
  indicated that an array data structure should be processed.
  Thus use the corresponding function "kmalloc_array".

  This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Replace the specification of a data type by a pointer dereference
  to make the corresponding size determination a bit safer according to
  the Linux coding style convention.
